On the Myriad Beasts Plain, a long convoy was slowly advancing forward. On the large carts were piles of dismembered spiritual beast remains.
This was a transport team, one that specialized in transporting the corpses of spiritual beasts.
Of course, on the Myriad Beasts Plain, they also had another nickname, garbage carts.
In a fantasy world with spatial storage capabilities, this kind of traditional transportation method was extremely primitive and backward. Anything truly valuable would already have been taken immediately after the spiritual beast was hunted. As for the remaining massive flesh and bones, powerful cultivators disdained collecting them, since they only took up space in spatial treasures and were otherwise useless.
However, this flesh was not truly worthless. Even selling it to large city restaurants could bring in a considerable sum. Over time, many such garbage collecting teams appeared across the Myraid Beasts Plain.
This situation had also existed in Liu Bai's previous life. In fact, many people doing such work did not necessarily earn less than those with proper jobs. It just did not look respectable.
The convoy moved forward slowly when a lone figure suddenly appeared in front of them. This caused the middle aged leader of the convoy to become alert. He gave a subtle signal to the guards beside him.
Seeing this, a young man who bore some resemblance to the leader immediately understood and quietly went to warn the people behind.
When they drew closer, the leader finally saw clearly that it was a young man wearing a black robe. He did not look very old, likely even younger than his own son. Yet because of this, the leader became even more cautious.
A young man daring to travel alone in such a chaotic land was either a fool or someone with strong backing. After years of traversing the Myraid Beasts Plain, the leader had developed keen judgment.
As the convoy approached, the leader raised his hand and halted the group, then clasped his fists and said, "Young friend, why are you blocking our path?"
Although the other party had not spoken, standing in the middle of the road already made his intentions clear.
"Do not misunderstand. I am only asking for some information," the young man said as he slightly raised his head, revealing Liu Bai's handsome face.
After leaving the Great Heavenlaw Domain, Liu Bai traveled toward the northwest of the Northern Region. Although he was now quite famous in the Northern Region, there were still very few who could truly recognize him.
Not to mention Liu Bai, even if the Palace Master of the Sky Profound Palace, Liu Tiandao, were thrown into the crowd, as long as he did not erupt with power, very few would recognize him at a glance.
With Liu Bai's current cultivation, traveling in the Northern Region was not particularly dangerous. After all, cultivators were not idiots who would randomly provoke enemies. Moreover, Liu Bai was a genuine Sovereign-grade powerhouse.
Because of this, he had arrived smoothly at the Myraid Beasts Plain.
Although he possessed a spiritual map of the Myriad Beasts Plain, many spiritual beast activity areas were not marked, especially those without fixed habitats, making them even harder to locate.
Liu Bai had come for Beast Soul Points, but he did not intend to kill every spiritual beast he encountered. Those with strength too low would not provide anything useful. At the same time, he also wanted to collect some materials to practice refining.
"Please ask, young friend. I will answer everything I know," the middle aged leader laughed heartily and spoke generously.
"I want to ask about the whereabouts of the Golden Crystal Beast King," Liu Bai stated his target directly.
The leader's heart shook.
He knew of the Golden Crystal Beast. It was a top tier Heavenly Beast. It was said that upon reaching adulthood, it possessed combat strength no weaker than a First Grade Sovereign. Its entire body was covered in a layer of golden crystal stone, granting it extremely strong defense and powerful rebound against spiritual energy attacks. It was an extremely troublesome spiritual beast.
And the target was the Golden Crystal Beast King.
Since it was the king of the Golden Crystal Beast clan, it was undoubtedly a terrifying existence. Its strength was at least at the Third-Grade Sovereign level.
Such a Golden Crystal Beast King would be difficult for even a Fourth-Grade Sovereign to defeat. Yet the young man before him looked no more than twenty years old. It was impossible for him to possess such strength.
Perhaps he was sent out only to gather information.
Thinking this, the leader spoke. "We have not seen the Golden Crystal Beast King. We are just a small garbage collecting convoy. We are not qualified to enter such regions."
"However, I did hear that about two thousand miles northwest from here, there is a massive mountain range. It seems that Golden Crystal Beasts appear there. Someone once hunted an adult Golden Crystal Beast in those mountains. If you want precise information, you can go there and take a look."
Liu Bai nodded upon hearing this, thanked him, and directly turned into a streak of light and vanished.
Watching Liu Bai's terrifying speed, the leader was stunned. That speed could only belong to a Sovereign level powerhouse.
He never expected someone so young to already be a Sovereign. Truly frightening talent.
After this small incident, the convoy continued forward. Liu Bai's appearance merely became another piece of conversation for the leader to boast about later while drinking with friends.
As for Liu Bai, two thousand miles was nothing to him.
What appeared before him was a continuous mountain range. Such terrain was rare on the Myriad Beasts Plain. Judging from the barren appearance of the mountains, this was likely a special ore mountain.
Such a place was indeed suitable for Golden Crystal Beasts, which fed on metal type substances.
Liu Bai descended and flew into the mountains.
From above, it did not seem obvious, but once inside, the mountain range proved enormous. Everywhere were bluish gray stones that looked incomparably hard.
The Myriad Beasts Plain truly lived up to its reputation as a paradise for spiritual beasts. Not long after entering the mountains, Liu Bai encountered a powerful spiritual beast.
Seeing the sharp stone spikes covering its body like stalagmites, along with its ferocious appearance and thick horns, Liu Bai recognized it as an Earth Rock Rhinoceros.
The Earth Rock Rhinoceros was lying horizontally within a small mountain valley, resting. Its massive body almost filled the entire valley.
It had no awareness at all of Liu Bai's arrival, nor did it know that death was imminent.
"A Second-Grade Sovereign Earth Rock Rhinoceros that maintains its beast form. I wonder how many Beast Soul Points it can provide."
Liu Bai felt a sense of anticipation.
As for experience points, he did not expect much. His cultivation surpassed the opponent by too much. At most, he would receive one fifth of the experience, which was insignificant to him now.
His left hand extended. Silently, a Nether Demon Heart Lighting invaded the Earth Rock Rhinoceros's body.
The sleeping Earth Rock Rhinoceros faintly heard a thunderous sound. In the next moment, the spiritual energy within its body erupted violently. All its spiritual energy surged in reverse, crashing directly into its essence soul.
With just this simple strike, the divine soul within the essence soul was shattered by its own spiritual energy. No matter how strong its defense or vitality was, once the divine soul dissipated, death was inevitable.
"Ding. Monster Earth Rock Rhinoceros slain. Gained 40000 experience points and 200 Beast Soul Points."
Liu Bai's eyes lit up. He did not expect the Earth Rock Rhinoceros to provide so many Beast Soul Points.
He now possessed a total of 850 Beast Soul Points, enough to evolve the Golden Ni Beast into an Ancient Golden Ni.
The Ancient Golden Ni was a powerful Heavenly Beast with dual divine beast bloodlines of the Devouring Heaven Beast and the White Tiger. It ranked fourteenth on the Earth Ranking of the Myriad Beasts Record. It was stronger than any of the current Five Spirits within Liu Bai's Innate Five Spirit Disk.
After adding eight hundred Beast Soul Points, the Innate Five Spirit Disk within Liu Bai's Sovereign Sea flew out of his body. Five enormous spiritual beast phantoms rose from the plate, occupying the five directions of heaven and earth, releasing terrifying pressure that caused all spiritual beasts within several thousand miles to tremble in fear.
Among the Five Spirits, the western direction, which had been slightly weaker before, saw a golden lion raise its head and roar. Its roar carried traces of pain.
Countless spiritual beasts and even humans witnessed this scene. Many believed that a rare treasure had emerged and rushed toward the source of the sound.
The evolution of the Golden Ni Beast did not last long. Soon, the figure belonging to the Ancient Golden Ni appeared within Liu Bai's sight.
Compared to the Golden Ni Beast, the Ancient Golden Ni did not undergo drastic changes in appearance. It merely looked far more robust and powerful, while also possessing many tiger like characteristics. It was somewhat similar to the lion tiger beast that had been artificially bred in Liu Bai's previous life.
Its entire body was covered in golden fur that resembled sharp golden needles. Meanwhile, the Devouring Heaven Beast bloodline granted it an internal spatial stomach capable of swallowing all things. It could be said that this Ancient Golden Ni was truly a perfect super Heavenly Beast.
Unfortunately, according to legend, this creature had long gone extinct in the Great Thousand World. What Liu Bai had evolved was merely a spiritual essence. In this lifetime, it could only serve as an Innate Spirit upon the Innate Five Spirit Disk. Oh right, even that might not last long, because Liu Bai's goal was to evolve all five Innate Spirits into divine beasts.
After resolving the weakness of the Golden Ni Beast, the power of the Innate Five Spirit Disk increased somewhat. It could now unleash power comparable to a low grade Divine Artifact. If all the Innate Five Spirits could be elevated to super Heavenly Beasts, it would likely advance to the level of a middle grade Divine Artifact.
After storing the Innate Five Spirit Disk once more, Liu Bai descended and collected the Spiritual essence of the Earth Rock Rhinoceros along with its pair of rhinoceros horns.
These were the most valuable items on its body. As for the remaining so called useless things, Liu Bai naturally would not waste space in his Space Ring storing them. He left them behind for those scavengers instead.
Just as Liu Bai was about to continue deeper in search of the Golden Crystal Beasts, he suddenly raised his head and looked toward the sky. At this moment, spiritual energy fluctuations were coming from deep within the mountain range and from outside the mountains as well. Clearly, people were rapidly flying over.
"Were they attracted by the earlier commotion?"
Liu Bai shook his head and smiled, paying it no mind.
If these people did not provoke him, then so be it. But if they were blind, Liu Bai would not mind harvesting some additional experience.
Under normal circumstances, such thinking would not be problematic. Those who traveled outside were generally cautious. Unless absolutely necessary, they would not easily provoke unfamiliar enemies.
Upon seeing the current situation, they would understand that Liu Bai had simply been hunting spiritual beasts. There was nothing worth paying attention to. Even if they suspected the disturbance caused by the Innate Five Spirit Disk, without absolute confidence, they would not dare provoke a powerhouse who could easily kill a Second Grade Sovereign Earth Rock Rhinoceros.
However, coincidences happened. Among these people, there happened to be one brainless fellow who relied on his background and the strength around him, acting without considering the consequences. At that point, there was no helping it.
"The treasure that caused the Five Spirits to roar earlier is in your hands, right? This young master has taken a liking to it. Hand it over, and I may spare your life."
A young man dressed in white robes looked down from above, gazing at Liu Bai as he spoke arrogantly.
At this moment, many figures had already appeared nearby, including powerful spiritual beasts. However, after hearing the young man's words, none of them spoke. Instead, the atmosphere suddenly became filled with killing intent.
Liu Bai glanced at the clothing worn by the youth and discovered that he belonged to Lingyue Prefecture. The youth even referred to himself as a young master. With two elders at the peak of Fourth-Grade Sovereign acting as his guards, there was no need to guess his identity. He was clearly the son of the Lingyue Prefecture Lord, Xiao Lingyue.
One had to know that Xiao Lingyue was a renowned figure in the Northern Region. After all, a woman who had established a first rate power through her own strength was a living legend.
Under the premise that everyone believed the Great Heavenlaw Domain Lord was a man, Xiao Lingyue was regarded as the number one female cultivator of the Northern Region.
'It is said that Xiao Lingyue possesses Eighth-Grade Sovereign cultivation. However, no one has seen her take action for over twenty years. She has likely made further breakthroughs, and her cultivation should be comparable to the Sleeping Emperor.'
Such a person was naturally someone Liu Bai could not provoke. Unfortunately, that woman was not present. If it was only her son, then he did not have the qualifications to act arrogantly before Liu Bai.
"The young master of Lingyue Prefecture? You are not qualified to make me hand over anything. If you want to say such words, have your mother come instead."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding crowd showed slight astonishment.
Despite knowing the other party's identity, he still dared to speak like this. The person before them was clearly not simple. At the very least, he possessed the confidence to not fear Lingyue Prefecture.
The two elders following the white robed youth also realized this. However, before they could offer any warning, the obviously inexperienced young master erupted in rage and shouted harshly, "Insolent trash. How dare you speak about my mother? Elder Lin, Elder Mo, kill him for me!"
